This year, it released the Snapdragon 845 for flagship devices while its last year Snapdragon 835 is practically off the market.

According to Roland, there is no information about the SD 429 yet but the 439 is a variant of SD 625. Recall that Snapdragon 450 is practically overclocked Snapdragon 625 so we may be having really similar chips here with little tweaks for Android Go package.
